The George N. Clayman Concerts:

The College of William and Mary Choir performs

Haydn's Die Schöpfung. 

The William and Mary Choir, under the direction of James Armstrong, will perform Joseph Haydn's oratorio Die Schöpfung (The Creation) on Friday, April 6 and Saturday, April 7 at 7:30 p.m. in Phi Beta Kappa Hall on the College of William and Mary campus in Williamsburg, Virginia.  The Choir will collaborate with a period orchestra comprised of professional instrumentalists (from New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Williamsburg, Chapel Hill, and Bloomington, Indiana) who specialize in the performance of music of the late Classic and early Romantic era.  The concert will feature soloists Georgeann Paddock (soprano), Frederick Urrey (tenor), and Andrew Wentzel (bass).  

These performances are made possible through a generous gift from alumna and former choir member Carol Woody (’71), in honor of her father. The George N. Clayman concerts began in 2004, when the W&M Choir performed Bach's St. John Passion. 

Tickets and information are available at 757-221-1085 and creationtickets at wm.edu.  $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
